"On a journey to the miraculous island, he falls in love with its beaches, the charisma of a Caribbean people, and a romantic history. From this is born a desire to fight for the freedom of an oppressed people, burdened by unfulfilled promises and a few capricious dinosaurs; deaf, blind, and selfish.
Cuba is a sleeping caiman in the Gulf of Mexico. One day it will awaken full of magic. From Buenos Aires, I can already sense the air of earth soaked by the downpour of change.
Young ideas have begun to rumble from within, like the sound of a hungry stomach more than 6,000 kilometers away. Long live a free Cuba."
